Reason for Baydamur’s withdrawal from the Citadel and how it unfolded

On Sunday, the twenty-eighth of Ramadan, the Chief Judges—accompanied by Shaykh Sharaf al-Din Ibn Qadi al-Jabal al-Hanbali and Shaykh Siraj al-Din al-Hindi al-Hanafi, the Hanafi judge attached to the Egyptian army—were dispatched to Baydamur and those with him to negotiate a settlement, that they might capitulate on whatever terms they chose before a siege began. Trebuchets had already been summoned from Safad and Baalbek, and about six thousand marksmen from among the naqāʿīn had been assembled.
When the judges and their party met Baydamur they conveyed, on behalf of the sultan and the leading emirs, that a written guarantee of safety awaited him should he agree to peace. He asked to reside with his family in Jerusalem, requested that Manjak be granted a holding in the district of Bilād Sis from which to earn his livelihood, and that Asandamur be appointed shamqadar to Emir Sayf al-Din Yalbugha al-Khassaki.

The judges returned to the sultan, bringing with them Emir Zayn al-Din Jibril the chamberlain, and informed the sultan and the emirs of these requests. They were approved, and the sultan and the emirs bestowed robes of honour upon Jibril. He then returned in the company of the judges together with Emir Asanbugha ibn [Baktamur] (1). They entered the Citadel and all spent the night there, while Emir Baydamur removed with his family and possessions to his house in the Quarter of the Embroiderers.
At dawn on Monday, the twenty-ninth, the three emirs left the Citadel, Jibril accompanying them. The judges then entered and handed the fortress, with all its stores, over to Emir Asanbugha ibn al-Bubakri. And so that matter came to an end.

The entry of Sultan al-Malik al-Manṣur Muḥammad, son of al-Malik al-Muẓaffar Amir Ḥajji, son of al-Malik al-Nāṣir Muḥammad, son of al-Malik al-Manṣur Qalāwūn, into Damascus with his army, troops, emirs, and splendid pageantry

On the morning of Monday, the twenty-ninth of Ramadan of that year, the judges returned to the royal pavilion, the emirs who had been inside the Citadel accompanying them, all having been granted safe-conduct by the sultan for themselves and their families. The judges were admitted, while the aforesaid emirs were kept outside. Robes of honour were conferred upon the four judges, who then withdrew, satisfied.
The emirs, however, were mounted on feeble nags, and behind each rode a wasāqī (2) who had already bound the prisoner around the waist. In every guard’s hand was a large, unsheathed dagger, lest anyone wrest the captive from him and use it to kill him. They were led openly through the streets so that the populace might behold the abasement that had overtaken them. People lined the road on every side—Allah alone knows their number, but they approached, if not exceeded, one hundred thousand—and witnessed a terrifying sight. The guards brought them into the Green Maydān where the palace stood and seated them there, six men in all: the three deputies, Jibril, Ibn Asandamur, and a sixth. Each of them was certain that some dire calamity (3) was about to befall him. To Allah we belong and to Him we return.
